Love them too, I reckon they could be done cheaply. I spotted the bulbs and the cable here when I was buying kitchen chairs. Very tempted to give it a go

Why didn't they salvage the original bricks on the demolished part of the house?

That's exactly what my husband said. He was like why are they demolishing that walk like that!

I'm sure he would have had to sign that before work started.

It depends on the production anyway after the money issue came up there was no footage of the builder except at the opening night.

That is not the normal format of the production, normally they go into the finish and the final push to complete. The builder must have told them to stay clear.

in anybody's money... €180,000 seems like a lorra lorra money for what they got

LirW · 18-03-2018 11:49pm

Yeah, for real, 180 grand "only" buys you an extension like that? Seems... steep?

appledrop · 18-03-2018 11:50pm

That kitchen was dreadful. Looked like a cheap 1980s kitchen that the council would put into one of their houses. Also only about 3 presses. Where would everything go. This is one of few houses I really disliked. Everything about it was just wrong. Mural was hideous. Yes fair enough if you want some artwork but how the he'll did that one have any meaning? Part if problem was probably that they had already spent money in rooms so these couldn't be changed. In saying that this is my favourite ever series of Room to Improve as all the extensions have been different rather than glass boxes in other series.

They were a very bland boring couple and Im sorry but what was with the shaving of hair. She was a bit old for that look.
It was colossal money for that house, over 800,000 between purchae price and extension.
Icouldnt see thirty grands worth that they had done before starting the job, did they say what they had done.

What's everyone having with her hair, isn't that her own thing like?

The extension was prices at 115 grand I think, it had a sqm price of over 1900 Euro.

Short Room to Improve 'extras' in the i player. None for this episode or the aspirational episode.

that is one of the big issues here. they had done up some of the rooms. that sitting room is really dark and should have been stripped back .
it put a lot of design constraints there that made it hard to get a really great layout
